Just hearing the name brings back so many memories from my childhood.
I went NYC Golden Gloves every year from 88-95 and even went a couple of times to watch the finals at MSG.
Started going in 88. Mainly because I was crazy about Tyson, but also because I could go alone at 10 years old since it was held in our church's huge gymnasium.
I used to go and buy beer for the old timers that were too old, or too lazy to get up themselves. They would buy me a beer for going for them.
And the church would sell it to me no questions asked.
So many memories...... Thanks, Mike!
I used to go when they had it at Mt. Carmel in Brooklyn!
